Two paintings of the same scene by Monet and Renoir, painted at Monet's riverside home in the village of Argenteuil, and almost identical in size and vantage point, but each visually distinct from the other. I used to think I preferred Renoir's lighter, airier take on the river, but now I think I like Monet's darker, moodier version more.
